We can only take things the way you type them. That is what everyone is saying.
Precisely.
Everyone is 'blaming you' for having failed to express yourself clearly because you failed to express yourself clearly.
If you frequent other forums, you may be aware that each has it's own standards and codes of conduct. Such is the case with MATY.
You are being cited for failure to comply. Lack of compliance generally results in being poked with sharp sticks and eventually killed with fire.

It's not as simple as that because they came back at me telling me i meant things that i had never written. Twisting ways i had worded things. Like some of the examples i brought up. The words i use are the words i mean, if i don't say things like 'i think you should all change for me' then thats what i meant to not put. But i've had people coming back to me with 'oh so you want us to change for you' type thing. Near the beginning i said how a spelling mistake is so bad, and i got things back saying that you basically have no intelligence if you don't capitalize something etc. So from asking an innocent enough question, people make it personal by stating what a person is if they don't spell the way THEY want. Then telling me how i don't get the way it works here even though more than once i had stated i understood. So if i took care to make it clear i understood, yet still got people repeating themselves that i didn't, just who has made the mistake there. Not me! Bottom line on the subject of this thread though, is that this site would still be good and non-n00bish even if people forgot the odd apostrophe or capital. The odd grammar drop isn't the same as people coming on going 'yo peepz, sims 3 iz da bomb (or not as the case may be) ^.^ w00t'. And it seems to be that people don't want THAT type on here?

Oh, and I'm dyslexic. Do you know what I do when typing? Unless I'm in an MMO and about to die, I -spellcheck-. I make sure my spelling makes sense because 'hsit' does not make sense, but this does.
And when I have typed in another language, I do the same thing, since with my limited vocabulary, I could accidentally say that my mother is a kumquat, which also would make no sense.

This thread has murdered me from the laughing.
SimplyComplex:
It's just that in this day its natural to not worry too much about grammar on the net. And we're not even talking about jumbled up words here, they're on about things like not capitalising an 'I'. While some people may be anal about spelling, this type of mishap won't in any way affect a post.
